Way back in pre-COVID times, MFAngle chatted with poets Taylor Portela and Sonya Lara about their experiences with gap years. Do you need to take a gap year before entering a creative writing MFA? Do you need experience out in the "real world"? 

This episode was inspired by Sonya and Taylor's blog post for the minnesota review blog.
